The toggle clamp!😂😂 Tell me you're a woodworker without telling me you're a woodworker... Ok serious question.. Im looking at adding an rv style latch to my backdoor. I saw you used one on the side door but not the back? Any reason? Does the toggle clamp hold?

Very nice to have it outside. I've had those types of mounts break/fracture on me (I drive some bumpy roads though). I've found that mounting that type of mount so that the arm extends downward instead of upward seems to put far less strain on the mount itself and surrounding support area. Just food for thought. Best Wishes!

This is an extremely well thought out modular build for such a small space. 🥰 I love some of your ideas so much that it's become inspiration for the build Im going to do one day when I'm able. As to hiding the messy corner, I would just put up a simple curtain. That way you can access easily and cover up easily withoit taking up unnecessary space. 😊Thanks for posting your build. It's awesome!!!😍 Well done!!! 🥳👏🎉

@@adv3ntur3ing Oh, that's so nice to have the extra height! Now I'm on the fence about needing to go a foot taller, too. I'll have to think about that! I've had a couple of tires blow on a cargo trailer and a travel trailer and unfortunately it has scared me into having too big of a rig. But, maybe it will still feel manageable after all.
@adv3ntur3ing5 ай бұрын
Have you seen the remote TPMS sensors for monitoring tire pressure in your trailer tires? Any tire that's going to blow should start to give you warning signs if you have that. It detects over/under pressure, as well as temperature. It's great peace of mind for me.

I've been following a lot of vanlife/trailer conversion channels but never commented, I see that your a smaller/newer channel so I just wanted to give you some support as your current build has many similar ideas to mine (although quite different at the same time) and your videos have great depth and go into many of the things I want to see which is awesome. I've been tinkering away at my own design for a couple years as I'm planning on building a trailer conversion but in no rush as I want to do it with some big constraints like weight/cost/storage and personal design touches. The biggest thing for me is sizing for a couple and a toddler I've gone back and forth between 6x12, 6x10 and now 5x12 purely based on whats available and trailer weights, your videos are super helpful seeing what can be done with an even smaller 5x8 trailer. Couple quick questions if I may :) 1. Do you know how much your finished build weighs? 2. Is it possible to move by hand and potentially over grass? My current potential trailer only weighs around 700lbs and hoping to keep around 1000-1500lbs when finished/fully loaded but storagewise I'd like to be able to hand move it and store in my backyard if possible. Thanks! Looking forward to your future videos and hopefully some adventures with the trailer.
@adv3ntur3ing5 ай бұрын
Thanks so much! To answer your questions, I don't know the finished weight, but it is possible to move it around by hand on level ground. I have a wheel that can go on the jack in the front, then it's surprisingly easy to move. I've also pulled it around with my little lawn tractor (I put a ball on the back) when the ground isn't level. I can still lift the tongue, but its at the edge of what is probably safe for my body. I use jacks now if I need it up/down. As far as overall size goes, i would probably recommend going slightly larger than you think you need. The 5x8 does work perfectly for just me, and its easy to fit most places, but an extra couple feet would mean alot more storage space, or space for another person. Hope that helps!

Overall, your 5 X 8 is an impressive accomplishment. How do I know? By what I'm trying to achieve building a 5 X 10... and as for your lighting, switching, electronic wizardry, I can't even come close. You've done a terrific job, too, utilizing space and creating such modularity with the bed, the desk, the recliner. I like the style of the walls. The windows are great and so's your projection tv and monitor. Bravo! I'll be checking out some of your build vids to see where I might avail myself of options on USB ports, etc. Thanks for a terrific video. I have bailed on watching here on KZbin several others' 5 X 8 and 5 X 10 "builds" because they just aren't up to this standard.

I'm curious about your glue up. After you ripped the 2x4s what surfaces did you edge glue? From what I could tell it looks like the fresh cut surface seems to be facing up but I'm not sure. If so that would mean the glue surface was the original 2x4 edges, or did you joint or otherwise "flatten" those surfaces for glue up?
@adv3ntur3ing Жыл бұрын
Yes, you are correct, it was essentially the original 2x4 longer side (the 4) which I ran through the planer just to flatten them out for glue.

Nice. I'm looking at building a 5x8 or maybe a 6x8 this summer. I love winter camping, but if I'm not backpacking, tent camping is just becoming a pain in the butt with hanging the tent to dry and all that. I tend to go to the state park campgrounds around me in the winter just because of the electric. A conversion would make getting out for the weekend a lot more relaxing.
@adv3ntur3ing Жыл бұрын
Thanks! I totally agree, all the setup and takedown of the camping gear (and then the drying out process once you get home) gets tired when you camp alot. being able to hitch up and hit the road with your stuff ready to go, and hit a grocery store in route for food makes enjoying the outdoors so much more relaxing.
